The main objective of our research project was to design an electro-pneumatic
servo-drive positioning control system, which involved applying a fuzzy logic
controller. A proportional–derivative fuzzy logic controller was selected to
perform position changeover, follow-up, and teach/playback control. Control
system was designed by means of xPC Target software of Matlab- Simulink
package. The designed fuzzy system is efficient, stable, and resistant to
disturbances and can be applied in any configurations of pneumatic servo-drive
without the necessity to tune the regulator, apply signal filtration, or
additional operations in track control or restrict the signals generated.
These methods of control are essential in automation equipment, such as
pick-and-place machines, manipulators, and robots.
